Generate din, going mad as one sort of actress (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tragedienne

'one sort of actress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'generate din going mad' is the wordplay.
'going mad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'generate'+'din'='generatedin'
'generatedin' anagrammed gives 'TRAGEDIENNE'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tragedienne that I've seen before include "Female dramatic actress" , "Performer" , "Serious actress" , "Sort of actress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
